title: [Measles and pregnancy. Apropos of 16 cases in Burkina Faso].
abstract: We report an epidemic of 16 cases of measles during pregnancy. The risk factors for such an association and the materno-fetal outcomes are presented. The mean age of the patients was 20.6 years, with a mean gravidity and parity of 2.1 and 1.1 respectively. The mean clinical features were: conjunctivitis, hyperthermia and cutaneous rash. Nine maternal complications occurred: 6 laryngitis and 3 pneumopathies. All patients were HIV negative. The outcomes of the pregnancy were the following: 2 abortions, 3 stillbirths, 1 preterm delivery and 2 full term births. Eight patients with ongoing pregnancies were lost to follow-up after their discharge from the hospital. We conclude on the need for a systematic prevention in exposed pregnant women by immunotherapy and in children by immunization.
